Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must 
be replaced. Order Part No. WB02X10943 from 
your GE supplier.
If the model is not vented to the outside, the 
air will be recirculated through a disposable 
charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and 
odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is 
noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 
12 months, depending on usage). See Optional 
Kits, page 8, for more information.
